Glossary of Literary Terms
Aesthetics: The branch of philosophy that studies
the beautiful in nature and art, including how
beauty is recognized in a work of art and how
people respond to it. In literature, the aesthetic
approach can be distinguished from the moral
or utilitarian approach; it was most fully embod-
ied in the movement known as aestheticism in
the late nineteenth century.
Alienation: The German dramatist Bertolt Brecht
developed the theory of alienation in his epic
theater. Brecht sought to create an audience
that was intellectually alert rather than emotion-
ally involved in a play by using alienating tech-
niques such as minimizing the illusion of reality
onstage and interrupting the action with songs
and visual aids.
Allegory: A literary mode in which characters in a
narrative personify abstract ideas or qualities
and so give a second level of meaning to the
work, in addition to the surface narrative. Two
famous examples of allegor y are Edmund
Spenser’s The Faerie Queene (1590, 1596) and
John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress (1678). For
modern examples, see the stories and novels of
Franz Kafka.
Alliteration: A poetic technique in which conso-
nant repetition is focused at the beginning of
syllables, as in “Large mannered motions of his
mythy mind.” Alliteration is used when the poet
wishes to focus on the details of a sequence of
words and to show the relationships between
words in a line.
Angry young men: The term used to describe a
group of English novelists and playwrights in the
1950’s and 1960’s, whose work stridently at-
tacked what it saw as the outmoded political and
social structures (particularly the class struc-
ture) of post-World War II Britain. John Os-
borne’s play Look Back in Anger (pr. 1956, pb.
1957) and Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim (1954) are
typical examples.
Angst: A pervasive feeling of anxiety and depres-
sion often associated with the moral and spiri-
tual uncertainties of the twentieth century, as
expressed in the existentialism of writers such as
Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus.
Antagonist: A character in fiction who stands in op-
position or rivalry to the protagonist. In William
Shakespeare’s Hamlet (pr. c. 1600-1601, pb.
1603), for example, King Claudius is the antago-
nist of Hamlet.
Anthropomorphism: The ascription of human
characteristics and feelings to animals, inani-
mate objects, or gods. The gods of Homer’s ep-
ics are anthropomorphic, for example. Anthro-
pomorphism occurs in beast fables, such as
George Orwell’s Animal Farm (1945). The term
“pathetic fallacy” carries the same meaning:
Natural objects are invested with human feel-
ings. See also Pathetic fallacy.
Antihero: A modern fictional figure who tries to de-
fine himself and establish his or her own codes,
or a protagonist who simply lacks traditional he-
roic qualities, such as Jim Dixon in Kingsley
Amis’s Lucky Jim (1954).
Aphorism: A short, concise statement that states an
opinion, precept, or general truth, such as Alex-
ander Pope’s “Hope springs eternal in the hu-
man breast.”
Apostrophe: A direct address to a person (usually
absent), inanimate entity, or abstract quality.
Archetype: The term was used by psychologist Carl
Jung to describe what he called “primordial im-
ages” that exist in the “collective unconscious”
of humankind and are manifested in myths, reli-
gion, literature, and dreams. Now used broadly
in literary criticism to refer to character types,
motifs, images, symbols, and plot patterns re-
curring in many different literary forms and
works. The embodiment of archetypes in a work
of literature can make a powerful impression on
the reader.
Aristotelian unities: A set of rules for proper dra-
matic construction formulated by Italian and
French critics during the Renaissance, pur-
ported to be derived from the De poetica (c. 334-
323 b.c.e.; Poetics, 1705) of Aristotle. According
to the “three unities,” a play should have no
2849
Glossary of Literary Terms
scenes irrelevant to the main action, should not
cover a period of more than twenty-four hours,
and should not occur in more than one place or
locale. In fact, Aristotle insists only on unity of
action in a tragedy.
Assonance: A term for the association of words with
identical vowel sounds but different conso-
nants: “stars,” “arms,” and “park,” for example,
all contain identical a (and ar) sounds.
Auto sacramental: A Renaissance development of
the medieval open-air Corpus Christi pageant in
Spain. A dramatic, allegorical depiction of a sin-
ful soul wavering and transgressing until the in-
tervention of Divine Grace restores order. Dur-
ing a period of prohibition of all secular drama
in Spain, from 1598 to 1600, even Lope de Vega
Carpio adopted this form.
Autobiography: A form of nonfiction writing in
which the author narrates events of his or her
own life. Autobiography differs from memoir in
that the latter focuses on prominent people the
author has known and great events that he or
she has witnessed, rather than on his or her own
life.
Ballad: Popular ballads are songs or verse that tell
dramatic, usually impersonal, tales. Supernatu-
ral events, courage, and love are frequent
themes, but any experience that appeals to ordi-
nary people is acceptable material. Literary bal-
lads—narrative poems based on the popular
ballads—have frequently been in vogue in En-
glish literature, particularly during the Roman-
tic period. One of the most famous is Samuel
Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
(1798).
Baroque: The term was first used in the eighteenth
century to describe an elaborate and grandiose
type of architecture. It is now also used to refer
to certain stylistic features of Metaphysical po-
etry, particularly the poetry of Richard Crashaw.
The term can also refer to post-Renaissance lit-
erature, 1580-1680.
Bildungsroman: Sometimes called the “novel of
education” or “apprenticeship novel,” the bil-
dungsroman focuses on the growth of a young
protagonist who is learning about the world and
finding his or her place in life; a typical example
is James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young
Man (serial, 1914-1915; book, 1916).
2850
Blank verse: A term for unrhymed iambic pentam-
eter, blank verse first appeared in drama in
Thomas Norton and Thomas Sackville’s Gorbo-
duc, performed in 1561, and later became the
standard form of Elizabethan drama. It has also
commonly been used in long narrative or philo-
sophical poems, such as John Milton’s Paradise
Lost (1667, 1674).
Bourgeois novel: A novel in which the values,
the preoccupations, and the accoutrements of
middle-class or bourgeois life are given particu-
lar prominence. The heyday of the genre was
the nineteenth century, when novelists as varied
as Jane Austen, Honoré de Balzac, and Anthony
Trollope both criticized and unreflectingly trans-
mitted the assumptions of the rising middle
class.
Burlesque: A work that, by imitating attitudes,
styles, institutions, and people, aims to amuse.
Burlesque differs from satire in that it aims to
ridicule simply for the sake of amusement
rather than for political or social change.
Capa y espada: Spanish for “cloak and sword,” a
term referring to the Spanish theater of the six-
teenth and seventeenth centuries dealing with
love and intrigue among the aristocracy. The
greatest practitioners were Lope de Vega Carpio
and Pedro Calderón de la Barca. The term
comedia de ingenio is also used.
Catharsis: A term from Aristotle’s De poetica (c. 334-
323 b.c.e.; Poetics, 1705) referring to the purga-
tion of the emotions of pity and fear in the spec-
tator aroused by the actions of the tragic hero.
The meaning and the operation of the concept
have been a source of great, and unresolved,
critical debate.
Celtic romance: Gaelic Celts invaded Ireland in
about 350 b.c.e.; their epic stories and romances
date from this period until about a.d. 450. The
romances are marked by a strong sense of the
Otherworld and of supernatural happenings.
The Celtic romance tradition influenced the po-
etry of William Butler Yeats.
Celtic Twilight: Sometimes used synonymously
with the term Irish Renaissance, which was a
movement beginning in the late nineteenth
century that attempted to build a national litera-
ture by drawing on Ireland’s literary and cul-
tural history. The term, however, which is taken

from a book by William Butler Yeats titled The
Celtic Twilight (1893), sometimes has a negative
connotation. It is used to refer to some early
volumes by Yeats, which have been called self-
indulgent. The poet Algernon Charles Swin-
burne said that the Celtic Twilight manner “puts
fever and fancy in the place of reason and imagi-
nation.”
Chamber plays: Refers to four plays written in 1907
by the Swedish dramatist August Strindberg.
The plays are modeled on the form of chamber
music, consisting of motif and variations, to
evoke a mood or atmosphere (in these cases, a
very somber one). There is no protagonist but a
small group of equally important characters.
Character: A personage appearing in any literary
or dramatic work. Characters can be presented
with the depth and complexity of real people
(sometimes called “round” characters) or as styl-
ized functions of the plot (“flat” characters).
Chorus: Originally a group of singers and dancers
in religious festivals, the chorus evolved into the
dramatic element that reflected the opinions
of the masses or commented on the action in
Greek drama. In its most developed form, the
chorus consisted of fifteen members: seven
reciting the strophe, seven reciting the anti-
strophe, and the leader interacting with the ac-
tors. The chorus has been used in all periods of
drama, including the modern period.
Classicism: A literary stance or value system con-
sciously based on the example of classical Greek
and Roman literature. While the term is applied
to an enormous diversity of artists in many dif-
ferent periods and in many different national
literatures, it generally denotes a cluster of val-
ues including formal discipline, restrained ex-
pression, reverence of tradition, and an objec-
tive, rather than subjective, orientation. Often
contrasted with Romanticism. See also Romanti-
cism.
Comédie-Française: The first state theater of
France, composed of the company of actors es-
tablished by Molière in 1658. The company took
the name Comédie-Française in 1680. Today, it
is officially known as the Théâtre Français (Salle
Richelieu).
Comedy: Generally, a lighter form of drama (as
contrasted with tragedy) that aims chiefly to
amuse and ends happily. The comic effect typi-
Glossary of Literary Terms
cally arises from the recognition of some incon-
gruity of speech, action, or character develop-
ment. The comic range extends from coarse,
physical humor (called low comedy) to a more
subtle, intellectual humor (called high comedy).
Comedy of manners: A form of comedy that arose
during the seventeenth century, dealing with
the intrigues (particularly the amorous in-
trigues) of sophisticated, witty members of the
upper classes. The appeal of these plays is pri-
marily intellectual, depending on quick-witted
dialogue and clever language. For examples,
see the plays of Restoration dramatists William
Congreve, Sir George Etherege, and William
Wycherley. See also Restoration comedy/drama.
Commedia dell’arte: Dramatic comedy performed
by troupes of professional actors that became
popular in the mid-sixteenth century in Italy.
The troupes were rather small, consisting of per-
haps a dozen actors who performed stock roles
in mask and improvised on skeletal scenarios.
The tradition of the commedia, or masked com-
edy, was influential into the seventeenth century
and still exerts some influence.
Conceit: A type of metaphor, the conceit is used
for comparisons that are highly intellectualized.
When T. S. Eliot, for example, says that winding
streets are like a tedious argument of insidious
intent, there is no clear connection between the
two, so the reader must apply abstract logic to fill
in the missing links.
Conversation poem: Conversation poems are
chiefly associated with the poetry of Samuel Tay-
lor Coleridge. These poems all display a relaxed,
informal style, quiet settings, and a circular
structure—the poem returns to where it began,
after an intervening meditation has yielded
some insight into the speaker’s situation.
Cubism: A term borrowed from Cubist painters.
In literature, cubism is a style of poetry, such as
that of E. E. Cummings, Kenneth Rexroth, and
Archibald MacLeish, which first fragments an
experience, then rearranges its elements into
some new artistic entity.
Dactyl: The dactylic foot, or dactyl, is formed of a
stress followed by two unstressed syllables, as in
the words “Washington” and “manikin.” “After
the pangs of a desperate lover” is an example of
a dactylic line.
2851
Glossary of Literary Terms
Dadaism: Dadaism arose in France during World
War I as a radical protest in art and literature
against traditional institutions and values. Part
of its strategy was the use of infantile, nonsensi-
cal language. After World War I, when Dadaism
was combined with the ideas of Sigmund Freud,
it gave rise to the Surrealist movement.
Decadence: The period of decline that heralds the
ending of a great age. The period in English dra-
matic history immediately following William
Shakespeare is said to be decadent, and the
term “Decadents” is applied to a group of late-
nineteenth and early twentieth century writers
who searched for new literary and artistic forms
as the Victorian Age came to a close.
Detective story: The “classic” detective story (or
“mystery”) is a highly formalized and logically
structured mode of fiction in which the focus
is on a crime solved by a detective through in-
terpretation of evidence and clever reasoning.
Many modern practitioners of the genre, how-
ever, such as Raymond Chandler, Patricia High-
smith, and Ross Macdonald, have placed less
emphasis on the puzzlelike qualities of the de-
tective story and have focused instead on charac-
terization, theme, and other elements of main-
stream fiction. The form was first developed in
short fiction by Edgar Allan Poe; Jorge Luis
Borges has also used the convention in short sto-
ries.
Dialectic: A philosophical term meaning the art of
examining opinions or ideas logically. The dia-
lectic method of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich
Hegel and Karl Marx was based on a contradic-
tion of opposites (thesis and antithesis) and
their resolution (synthesis). In literary criticism,
the term has sometimes been used by Marxist
critics to refer to the structure and dynamics of a
literary work in its sociological context.
Dialogue: Speech exchanged between characters,
or even, in a looser sense, the thoughts of a sin-
gle character. Dialogue serves to characterize, to
further the plot, to establish conflict, and to ex-
press thematic ideas.
Doppelgänger: A double or counterpart of a per-
son, sometimes endowed with ghostly qualities.
A fictional doppelgänger often reflects a sup-
pressed side of his or her personality, as in
Fyodor Dostoevski’s novella Dvoynik (1846; The
Double, 1917) and the short stories of E. T. A.
2852
Hoffmann. Isaac Bashevis Singer and Jorge Luis
Borges, among other modern writers, have also
employed the doppelgänger with striking effect.
Drama: Generally speaking, any work designed to
be represented on a stage by actors (Aristotle de-
fined drama as “the imitation of an action”).
More specifically, the term has come to signify a
play of a serious nature and intent that may end
either happily (comedy) or unhappily (tragedy).
Dramatic irony: A situation in a play or a narra-
tive in which the audience knows something
that the character does not. The irony lies in the
different meaning that the character’s words
or actions have for himself or herself and for
the audience. A common device in classical
Greek drama. Sophocles’ Oidipous Tyrannos
(429 b.c.e.; Oedipus Tyrannus, 1715) is an exam-
ple of extended dramatic irony.
Dramatic monologue: In dramatic monologue, the
narrator addresses a persona who never speaks
but whose presence greatly influences what the
narrator tells the reader. The principal reason
for writing in dramatic monologue is to control
the speech of the major persona by the implied
reaction of the silent one. The effect is one of
continuing change and often surprise. The
technique is especially useful for revealing char-
acters slowly and for involving the reader as an-
other silent participant.
Dramatic verse: Poetry that employs dramatic
form or technique, such as dialogue or conflict,
to achieve its effects. The term is used to refer to
dramatic monologue, drama written in verse,
and closet dramas.
Dramatis personae: The characters in a play. Of-
ten, a printed listing defining the characters and
specifying their relationships.
Dream vision: An allegorical form common in the
Middle Ages, in which the narrator or a charac-
ter falls asleep and dreams a dream that be-
comes the actual framed story.
Dystopian/utopian novel: A dystopian novel takes
some existing trend or theory in present-day so-
ciety and extends it into a fictional world of the
future, where the trend has become more fully
manifested, with unpleasant results. Aldous
Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) is an example.
The utopian novel is the opposite: It presents an
ideal society. The first utopian novel was Sir
Thomas More’s Utopia (1516).

Elegy: A long, rhymed, formal poem whose subject
is meditation upon death or a lamentable
theme. The pastoral elegy uses a pastoral scene
to express grief at the loss of a friend or impor-
tant person. See also Pastoral.
Elizabethan Age: Of or referring to the reign of
Queen Elizabeth I of England, lasting from 1558
to 1603, a period of important developments
and achievements in the arts in England, partic-
ularly in poetry and drama. The era included
such literary figures as Edmund Spenser, Chris-
topher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, and Ben
Jonson. Sometimes referred to as the English
Renaissance.
English novel: The first fully realized English novel
was Samuel Richardson’s Pamela (1740-1741).
The genre took firm hold in the second half of
the eighteenth century, with the work of Daniel
Defoe, Henry Fielding, and Tobias Smollett,
and reached its full flowering in the nineteenth
century, in which great novelists such as Jane
Austen, Charles Dickens, William Makepeace
Thackeray, Anthony Trollope, Thomas Hardy,
and George Eliot produced sweeping portraits
of the whole range of English life in the period.
Enlightenment: A period in Western European cul-
tural history that began in the seventeenth cen-
tury and culminated in the eighteenth. The
chief characteristic of Enlightenment thinkers
was their belief in the virtue of human reason,
which they believed was banishing former su-
perstitious and ignorant ways and leading to an
ideal condition of human life. The Enlighten-
ment coincides with the rise of the scientific
method.
Epic: Although this term usually refers to a long
narrative poem that presents the exploits of a
central figure of high position, the term is also
used to designate a long novel that has the style
or structure usually associated with an epic. In
this sense, for example, Herman Melville’s Moby
Dick (1851) and James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922) may
be called epics.
Epigram: Originally meaning an inscription, an ep-
igram is a short, pointed poem, often express-
ing humor and satire. In English literature, the
form flourished from the Renaissance through
the eighteenth century in the work of poets
such as John Donne, Ben Jonson, and Alexan-
der Pope. The term also refers to a concise and
Glossary of Literary Terms
witty expression in prose, as in the plays of Oscar
Wilde.
Epiphany: Literally, an epiphany is an appearance
of a god or supernatural being. The term is used
in literary criticism to signify any moment of
heightened awareness, or flash of transcenden-
tal insight, when an ordinary object or scene is
suddenly transformed into something that pos-
sesses eternal significance. Especially notewor-
thy examples are found in the works of James
Joyce.
Epistle: The word means “letter,” but epistle is used
to refer to a literary form rather than a private
composition, usually written in dignified style
and addressed to a group. The most famous ex-
amples are the epistles in the New Testament.
Epistolary novel: A work of fiction in which the nar-
rative is carried forward by means of letters writ-
ten by the characters. Epistolary novels were
especially popular in the eighteenth century.
Examples include Samuel Richardson’s Pamela
(1740-1741) and Clarissa (1747-1748).
Epithet: An adjective or adjectival phrase that ex-
presses a special characteristic of a person or
thing. “Hideous night,” “devouring time,” and
“sweet silent thought” are epithets that appear
in William Shakespeare’s sonnets.
Essay: A brief prose work, usually on a single topic,
that expresses the personal point of view of the
author. The essay is usually addressed to a gen-
eral audience and attempts to persuade the
reader to accept the author’s ideas.
Everyman: The central character in the work by
the same name, the most famous of the En-
glish medieval morality plays. It tells of how
Everyman is summoned by Death and of the
parts played in his journey by characters named
Fellowship, Cousin, Kindred, Goods, Knowl-
edge, Confession, Beauty, Strength, Discretion,
Five Wits, and Good Deeds. Ever yman has
proved lastingly popular; there have been many
productions even in the twentieth century.
More generally, the term means the typical, or-
dinary person.
Existentialism: A philosophy or attitude of mind
that has gained wide currency in religious and
artistic thought since the end of World War II.
Typical concerns of existential writers are hu-
mankind’s estrangement from society, its aware-
ness that the world is meaningless, and its recog-
2853
Glossary of Literary Terms
nition that one must turn from external props
to the self. The works of Jean-Paul Sartre and
Franz Kafka provide examples of existentialist
beliefs.
Experimental novel: The term is associated with
novelists such as Dorothy Richardson, Virginia
Woolf, and James Joyce, who experimented with
the form of the novel, using in particular the
stream-of-consciousness technique.
Expressionism: Beginning in German theater at
the start of the twentieth century, expressionism
became the dominant movement in the decade
following World War I. It abandoned realism
and relied on a conscious distortion of external
reality in order to portray the world as it is
“viewed emotionally.” The movement spread to
fiction and poetry. Expressionism influenced
the novels of Franz Kafka and James Joyce.
Fable: One of the oldest narrative forms, usually
taking the form of an analogy in which animals
or inanimate objects speak to illustrate a moral
lesson. The most famous examples are the fa-
bles of Aesop, who used the form orally in 600
b.c.e.
Fabliau: A short narrative poem, popular in medi-
eval French literature and during the English
Middle Ages. Fabliaux were usually realistic in
subject matter and bawdy; they made a point of
satirizing the weaknesses and foibles of human
beings. Perhaps the most famous are Geoffrey
Chaucer’s “The Miller’s Tale” and “The Reeve’s
Tale.”
Fairy tale: A form of folktale in which supernatural
events or characters are prominent. Fairy tales
usually depict a realm of reality beyond that of
the natural world in which the laws of the natu-
ral world are suspended.
Fantasy: A literary form that makes a deliberate
break with reality. Fantasy literature may use su-
pernatural or fairy-tale events in which the ordi-
nary commonsense laws of the everyday world
do not operate. The setting may be unreal.
J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy trilogy, The Lord of
the Rings (1955), is one of the best-known ex-
amples of the genre.
Farce: From the Latin farcire, meaning “to stuff.”
Originally an insertion into established Church
liturgy in the Middle Ages, farce later became
the term for specifically comic scenes inserted
2854
into early liturgical drama. The term has come
to refer to any play that evokes laughter by such
low-comedy devices as physical humor, rough
wit, and ridiculous and improbable situations
and characters.
Femme fatale: The “fatal woman” is an archetype
that appears in myth, folklore, religion, and lit-
erature. Often she is presented as a temptress or
a witch who ensnares, and attempts to destroy,
her male victim. A very common figure in Ro-
manticism, the fatal woman often appears in
twentieth century American literature.
Figurative language: Any use of language that de-
parts from the usual or ordinary meaning to
gain a poetic or otherwise special effect. Figura-
tive language embodies various figures of
speech, such as irony, metaphor, and simile.
First person: A point of view in which the narrator
of a story or poem addresses the reader di-
rectly, often using the pronoun “I,” thereby al-
lowing the reader direct access to the narrator’s
thoughts.
Folklore: The traditions, customs, and beliefs of a
people expressed in nonliterary form. Folklore
includes myths, legends, fairy tales, riddles,
proverbs, charms, spells, and ballads and is usu-
ally transmitted through word of mouth. Many
literary works contain motifs that can be traced
to folklore.
Foreshadowing: A device used to create suspense
or dramatic irony by indicating through sugges-
tion what will take place in the future. The aim
is to prepare the reader for the action that fol-
lows.
Frame story: A story that provides a framework for
another story (or stories) told within it. The
form is ancient and is used by Geoffrey Chaucer
in The Canterbury Tales (1387-1400). In modern
literature, the technique has been used by
Henry James in The Turn of the Screw (1898), Jo-
seph Conrad in Heart of Darkness (serial, 1899;
book, 1902), and John Barth in Lost in the
Funhouse (1968).
Free verse: Verse that does not conform to any tra-
ditional convention, such as meter, rhyme, or
form. All poetry must have some pattern of
some kind, however, and there is rhythm in free
verse, but it does not follow the strict rules of me-
ter. Often the pattern relies on repetition and
parallel construction.

Genre: A type or category of literature, such as trag-
edy, novel, memoir, poem, or essay; a genre has
a particular set of conventions and expecta-
tions.
German Romanticism: Germany was the first Euro-
pean country in which the Romantic movement
took firm grip. Poets Novalis and Ludwig Tieck,
philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schel-
ling, and literary theorists Friedrich and August
Wilhelm Schlegel were well established in Jena
from about 1797, and they were followed, in the
second decade of the nineteenth century, by the
Heidelberg group, including novelist and short-
story writer E. T. A. Hoffmann and poet Hein-
rich Heine.
Gnomic: Aphoristic poetry, such as the wisdom lit-
erature of the Bible, which deals with ethical
questions. The term “gnomic poets” is applied
to a group of Greek poets of the sixth and sev-
enth centuries b.c.e.
Gothic novel: A form of fiction developed in the
late eighteenth century that focuses on horror
and the supernatural. An example is Mary Shel-
ley’s Frankenstein (1818). In modern literature,
the gothic genre can be found in the fiction of
Truman Capote.
Grand Tour: Fashionable during the eighteenth
century in England, the Grand Tour was a two-
to three-year journey through Europe during
which the young aristocracy and prosperous, ed-
ucated middle classes of England deepened
their knowledge of the origins and centers of
Western civilization. The tour took a standard
route; Rome and Naples were usually consid-
ered the highlights.
Grotesque: Characterized by a breakup of the ev-
eryday world by mysterious forces, the form dif-
fers from fantasy in that the reader is not sure
whether to react with humor or with horror. Ex-
amples include the stories of E. T. A. Hoffmann
and Franz Kafka.
Hagiography: Strictly defined, hagiography refers
to the lives of the saints (the Greek word hagios
means “sacred”), but the term is also used in a
more popular sense to describe any biography
that grossly overpraises its subject and ignores
his or her faults.
Heroic couplet: A pair of rhyming iambic pentame-
ter lines traditionally used in epic poetry; a he-
Glossary of Literary Terms
roic couplet often serves as a self-contained wit-
ticism or pithy observation.
Historical fiction: A novel that depicts past histori-
cal events, usually public in nature, and that fea-
tures real, as well as fictional, people. Sir Walter
Scott’s Waverley novels established the basic
type, but the relationship between fiction and
history in the form varies greatly depending on
the practitioner.
Hubris: Greek term for “insolence” or “pride,” the
characteristic or emotion in the tragic hero of
ancient Greek drama that causes the reversal of
his fortune, leading him to transgress moral
codes or ignore warnings.
Humanism: A human-centered, rather than God-
centered, view of the universe. In the Renais-
sance, Humanism devoted itself to the revival of
classical culture. A reaction against medieval
Scholasticism, Humanism oriented itself toward
secular concerns and applied classical ideas to
theology, government, literature, and educa-
tion. In literature, the main virtues were seen to
be restraint, form, and imitation of the classics.
See also Renaissance.
Iambic pentameter: A metrical line consisting of
five feet, each foot consisting of one unstressed
syllable followed by one stressed syllable: “So
long as men can breathe or eyes can see.” Iambic
pentameter is one of the commonest forms of
English poetry.
Imagery: Often defined as the verbal stimulation of
sensory perception. Although the word betrays
a visual bias, imagery, in fact, calls on all five
senses. In its simplest form, imagery re-creates a
physical sensation in a clear, literal manner; it
becomes more complex when a poet employs
metaphor and other figures of speech to re-
create experience.
Impressionism: A late nineteenth century move-
ment composed of a group of painters includ-
ing Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Claude
Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who aimed
in their work to suggest the impression made on
the artist by a scene rather than to reproduce it
objectively. The term has also been applied to
French Symbolist poets such as Paul Verlaine
and Stéphane Mallarmé, and to writers who use
the stream-of-consciousness technique, such as
James Joyce and Virginia Woolf.
2855
Glossary of Literary Terms
Irony: Recognition of the difference between real
and apparent meaning. Verbal irony is a rhetori-
cal trope wherein x is uttered and “not x” is
meant. In the New Criticism, irony, the poet’s rec-
ognition of incongruities, was thought to be the
master trope in that it was essential to the pro-
duction of paradox, complexity, and ambiguity.
Jacobean: Of or pertaining to the reign of James I
of England, who ruled from 1603 to 1623, the
period immediately following the death of Eliza-
beth I, which saw tremendous literary activity in
poetry and drama. Many writers who achieved
fame during the Elizabethan Age, such as Wil-
liam Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and John Donne,
were still active. Other dramatists, such as John
Webster and Cyril Tourneur, achieved success
almost entirely during the Jacobean era.
Jungian psychoanalysis: Refers to the analytical psy-
chology of the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.
Jung’s significance for literature is that, through
his concept of the collective unconscious, he
identified many archetypes and archetypal pat-
terns that recur in myth, fairy tale, and literature
and are also experienced in dreams.
Kafkaesque: Refers to any grotesque or nightmare
world in which an isolated individual, sur-
rounded by an unfeeling and alien world, feels
caught up in an endless maze that is dragging
him or her down to destruction. The term is a
reference to the works of Czech novelist and
short-story writer Franz Kafka.
Leitmotif: From the German, meaning “leading
motif.” Any repetition—of a word, phrase, situa-
tion, or idea—that occurs within a single work
or group of related works.
Limerick: A comic five-line poem employing an an-
apestic base and rhyming aabba, in which the
third and fourth lines are shorter (usually five
syllables each) than the first, second, and last
lines, which are usually eight syllables each.
Linear plot: A plot that has unity of action and pro-
ceeds from beginning to middle to end without
flashbacks or subplots, thus satisfying Aristotle’s
criterion that a plot should be a continuous se-
quence.
Literary criticism: The study and evaluation of
works of literature. Theoretical criticism sets
2856
forth general principles for interpretation.
Practical criticism offers interpretations of par-
ticular works or authors.
Lyric poetry: Lyric poetry developed when mu-
sic was accompanied by words. Although the
“lyrics” were later separated from the music,
the characteristics of lyric poetry have been
shaped by the constraints of music. Lyric poems
are short, more adaptable to metrical variation,
and usually personal compared with the cultural
functions of narrative poetry. Lyric poetry sings
of the self; it explores deeply personal feelings
about life.
Magical Realism: Imaginary or fantastic scenes and
occurrences presented in a meticulously realis-
tic style. The term has been applied to the fic-
tion of Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis
Borges, Günter Grass, John Fowles, and Salman
Rushdie.
Masque: A courtly entertainment popular during
the first half of the seventeenth century in En-
gland. It was a sumptuous spectacle including
music, dance, and lavish costumes and scenery.
Masques often dealt with mythological or pasto-
ral subjects, and the dramatic action often took
second place to pure spectacle.
Melodrama: Originally a drama with music (melos is
Greek for “song”). By the early nineteenth cen-
tury, it had come to mean a play in which charac-
ters are clearly either virtuous or evil and are pit-
ted against one another in suspenseful, often
sensational situations. The term took on a pejo-
rative meaning, which it retains: any dramatic
work characterized by stereotyped characters
and sensational, improbable situations.
Metafiction: Refers to fiction that manifests a re-
flexive tendency, such as Vladimir Nabokov’s
Pale Fire (1962) and John Fowles’s The French
Lieutenant’s Woman (1969). The emphasis is on
the loosening of the work’s illusion of reality to
expose the reality of its illusion. Such terms
as “irrealism,” “postmodernist fiction,” and
“antifiction” are also used to refer to this type
of fiction. See also Postmodernism.
Metaphor: A figure of speech in which two dissimi-
lar objects are imaginatively identified (rather
than merely compared) on the assumption that
they share one or more qualities. The term is
often used in modern criticism in a wider sense

to identify analogies of all kinds in literature,
painting, and film.
Metaphysical poetry: A type of poetry that stresses
the intellectual over the emotional; it is marked
by irony, paradox, and striking comparisons of
dissimilar things, the latter frequently being far-
fetched to the point of eccentricity. Usually used
to designate a group of seventeenth century En-
glish poets, including John Donne, George Her-
bert, Andrew Marvell, and Thomas Traherne.
Meter: Meter is the pattern of language when it is
forced into a line of poetry. All language has
rhythm, but when that rhythm is organized and
regulated in the line in order to affect the mean-
ing and emotional response to the words, then
the rhythm has been refined into meter. The
meter is determined by the number of syllables
in a line and by the relationship between them.
Mock epic: A literary form that burlesques the epic
by taking a trivial subject and treating it in a
grand style, using all the conventions of epic,
such as invocation to the deity, long and boastful
speeches of the heroes, and supernatural ma-
chinery. Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock
(1712, 1714) is probably the finest example in
English literature. The term is synonymous with
“mock heroic.” See also Mock hero.
Mock hero: The hero of a mock epic. See also Mock
epic.
Modernism: A term used to describe the character-
istic aspects of literature and art between World
War I and World War II. Influenced by Frie-
drich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud,
modernism embodied a lack of faith in Western
civilization and culture. In poetry, fragmenta-
tion, discontinuity, and irony were common;
in fiction, chronological disruption, linguistic
innovation, and the stream-of-consciousness
technique; in theater, expressionism and Sur-
realism.
Morality play: A dramatic form in the late Middle
Ages and the Renaissance containing allegori-
cal figures (most often virtues and vices) that are
typically involved in the struggle over a person’s
soul. The anonymously written Everyman (1508)
is one of the most famous medieval examples of
this form.
Motif: An incident, situation, or device that occurs
frequently in literature. Motif can also refer to
particular words, images, and phrases that are
Glossary of Literary Terms
repeated frequently in a single work. In this
sense, motif is the same as leitmotif. Motif is sim-
ilar to theme, although the latter is usually more
abstract.
Myth: An anonymous traditional story, often in-
volving supernatural beings or the interaction
between gods and humans, and dealing with the
basic questions of how the world and human
society came to be. Myth is an important term
in contemporary literary criticism. The critic
Northrop Frye, for example, has said that “the
typical forms of myth become the conventions
and genres of literature.” He means that the
genres of comedy, romance, tragedy, and irony
(satire) correspond to seasonal myths of spring,
summer, autumn, and winter.
Narrative: An account in prose or verse of an event
or series of events, whether real or imagined.
Narrator: The character who recounts the narra-
tive. There are many different types of narrator.
The first-person narrator is a character in the
story and can be recognized by the use of “I”;
third-person narrators may be limited or omni-
scient. In the former, the narrator confines him-
self or herself to knowledge of the minds and
emotions of one or at most a few characters.
In the latter, the narrator knows everything, see-
ing into the minds of all the characters. Rarely,
second-person narration may be used (an exam-
ple can be found in Edna O’Brien’s A Pagan
Place, published in 1970).
Naturalism: The application of the principles of
scientific determinism to fiction. Although it
usually refers more to the choice of subject mat-
ter than to technical conventions, conventions
associated with the movement center on the au-
thor’s attempt to be precise and objective in de-
scription and detail, regardless of whether the
events described are sordid or shocking. Natu-
ralism flourished in England, France, and Amer-
ica in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries.
Neoclassicism: A term used to describe the classi-
cism that dominated English literature from
the Restoration to the late eighteenth century.
Modeling itself on the literature of ancient
Greece and Rome, neoclassicism exalted the vir-
tues of proportion, unity, harmony, grace, deco-
rum, taste, manners, and restraint. It valued
2857
Glossary of Literary Terms
realism and reason over imagination and emo-
tion. See also Rationalism, Realism.
Neorealism: A movement in modern Italian litera-
ture, extending from about 1930 to 1955. Neo-
realism was shaped by opposition to Fascism,
and by World War II and the Resistance. Neo-
realist literature therefore exhibited a strong
concern with social issues and was marked by
pessimism regarding the human condition. Its
practitioners sought to overcome the gap be-
tween literature and the masses, and its subject
matter was frequently drawn from lower-class
life. Neo-realism is associated preeminently with
the work of Italo Calvino.
Nonsense literature/verse: Nonsense verse, such
as that written by Edward Lear and Lewis Car-
roll, makes use of invented words that have
no meaning, portmanteau words, and so-called
macaroni verse, in which words from different
languages are mingled. The verse holds atten-
tion because of its strong rhythms, appealing
sounds, and, occasionally, the mysterious atmo-
sphere that it creates.
Novel of education: See Bildungsroman.
Novel of ideas: A novel in which the characters,
plot, and dialogue serve to develop some control-
ling idea or to present the clash of ideas. Aldous
Huxley’s Eyeless in Gaza (1936) is a good example.
Novel of manners: The classic example of the form
might be the novels of Jane Austen, wherein the
customs and conventions of a social group of a
particular time and place are realistically, and
often satirically, portrayed.
Novella: An Italian term meaning “a little new
thing” that now refers to that form of fiction lon-
ger than a short story and shorter than a novel.
Objective correlative: A key concept in modern
formalist criticism, coined by T. S. Eliot in The
Sacred Wood (1920). An objective correlative is a
situation, an event, or an object that, when pre-
sented or described in a literary work, expresses
a particular emotion and serves as a precise for-
mula by which the same emotion can be evoked
in the reader.
Ode: The ode is a lyric poem that treats a unified
subject with elevated emotion, usually ending
with a satisfactory resolution. There is no set
form for the ode, but it must be long enough to
build intense emotional response. Often the
2858
ode will address itself to some omnipotent
source and will assume a spiritual hue.
Oxford Movement: A reform movement in the
Church of England that began in 1833, led by
John Henry (later Cardinal) Newman. The Ox-
ford Movement aimed to combat liberalism and
the decline of the role of faith in the Church and
to restore it to its former ideals. It was attacked
for advocating what some saw as Catholic doc-
trines; as a result, Newman left the Church of
England and became a Roman Catholic in 1845.
Panegyric: A formal speech or writing in praise of a
particular person or achievement; a eulogy. The
form dates back to classical times; the term is
now often used in a derogatory sense.
Parable: A short, simple, and usually allegorical
story that teaches a moral lesson. In the West,
the most famous parables are those told in the
Gospels by Christ.
Parody: A literary work that imitates or burlesques
another work or author, for the purpose of ridi-
cule. Twentieth century parodists include E. B.
White and James Thurber.
Pastoral: The term derives from the Latin “pastor,”
meaning “shepherd.” Pastoral is a literary mode
that depicts the country life in an idealized way;
it originated in classical literature and was a pop-
ular form in English literature from 1550 to
1750. Notable pastoral poems include John Mil-
ton’s “Lycidas” (1638) and Percy Bysshe Shel-
ley’s Adonais (1821).
Pathetic fallacy: The ascribing of human charac-
teristics or feelings to inanimate objects. The
term was coined by John Ruskin in 1856, who
disapproved of it, but it is now used without any
pejorative sense.
Persona: Persona means literally “mask”: It is the
self created by the author and through whom
the narrative is told. The persona is not to be
identified with the author, even when the two
may seem to resemble each other. The narrative
persona in Lord Byron’s Don Juan (1819-1824,
1826), for example, may express many senti-
ments of which Byron would have approved, but
he is nonetheless a fictional creation who is dis-
tinct from the author.
Personification: A figure of speech that ascribes
human qualities to abstractions or inanimate
objects.

Petrarchan sonnet: Named after Petrarch, a four-
teenth century Italian poet who perfected the
form, which is also known as the Italian sonnet.
It is divided into an octave, in which the subject
matter, which may be a problem, a doubt, a re-
flection, or some other issue, is raised and elabo-
rated, and a sestet, in which the problem is re-
solved. The rhyme scheme is usually abba abba
ced cde, cdc cdc, or cde dce.
Philosophical dualism: A theory that the universe
is explicable in terms of two basic, conflicting
entities, such as good and evil, mind and matter,
or the physical and the spiritual.
Picaresque: A form of fiction that revolves around
a central rogue figure, or picaro, who usually
tells his own story. The plot structure of a pica-
resque novel is usually episodic, and the epi-
sodes usually focus on how the picaro lives by his
wits. The classic example is Henry Fielding’s The
History of Tom Jones, a Foundling (1749).
Pindaric ode: An ode that imitates the form of
those composed by the ancient Greek poet Pin-
dar. A Pindaric ode consists of a strophe, fol-
lowed by an antistrophe of the same structure,
followed by an epode. This pattern may be re-
peated several times in the ode. In English po-
etry, Thomas Gray’s “The Bard” is an example of
a Pindaric ode.
Play: A literary work that is written to be performed
by actors who speak the dialogue, impersonate
the characters, and perform the appropriate ac-
tions. Usually, a play is performed on a stage,
and an audience witnesses it.
Play-within-the-play: A play or dramatic fragment
performed as a scene or scenes within a larger
drama, typically performed or viewed by the
characters of the larger drama.
Plot: Plot refers to how the author arranges the ma-
terial not only to create the sequence of events
in a play or story but also to suggest how those
events are connected in a cause-and-effect rela-
tionship. There are a great variety of plot pat-
terns, each of which is designed to create a par-
ticular effect.
Poem: A unified composition that uses the rhythms
and sounds of language, as well as devices such
as metaphor, to communicate emotions and ex-
periences to the reader.
Poet laureate: In England, the official poet, ap-
pointed for life by the English sovereign and ex-
Glossary of Literary Terms
pected to compose poems for various public
occasions. The first official laureate was John
Dryden in the seventeenth century. In the eigh-
teenth century, the laureateship was given to a
succession of mediocrities, but since the ap-
pointment of William Wordsworth in 1843, the
office has generally been regarded as a substan-
tial honor.
Polemic: A work that forcefully argues an opin-
ion, usually on a controversial religious, politi-
cal, or economic issue, in opposition to other
opinions. John Milton’s Areopagitica (1644) is
one of the best-known examples in English liter-
ature.
Postmodernism: The term is loosely applied to var-
ious artistic movements that have succeeded
modernism, particularly since 1965. Postmod-
ernist literature is experimental in form and re-
flects a fragmented world in which order and
meaning are absent.
Pre-Raphaelitism: Refers to a group of nineteenth
century English painters and writers, including
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Christina Rossetti, and
William Morris. The Pre-Raphaelites were so
called because they rebelled against conven-
tional methods of painting and wanted to revert
to what they regarded as the simple spirit of
painting that existed before Raphael, particu-
larly in its adherence to nature; they rejected
all artificial embellishments. Pre-Raphaelite po-
etry made much use of symbolism and sensuous-
ness and showed an interest in the medieval and
the supernatural.
Prose poem: A type of poem ranging in length
from a few lines to three or four pages; most oc-
cupy a page or less. The distinguishing feature
of the prose poem is its typography: It appears
on the page like prose, with no line breaks.
Many prose poems employ rhythmic repetition
and other poetic devices not found in prose, but
others do not; there is enormous variety in the
genre.
Protagonist: Originally, in the Greek drama, the
“first actor,” who played the leading role. The
term has come to signify the most important
character in a drama or story. It is not unusual
for there to be more than one protagonist in a
work.
Proverb: A wise and pithy saying, authorship un-
known, that reflects some observation about
2859
Glossary of Literary Terms
life. Proverbs are usually passed on through
word of mouth, although they may also be writ-
ten, as for example, the Book of Proverbs in the
Bible.
Psychological novel: Once described as an inter-
pretation of “the invisible life,” the psychologi-
cal novel is a form of fiction in which character,
especially the inner life of characters, is the pri-
mary focus, rather than action. The form has
characterized much of the work of Henry James,
James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and William Faulk-
ner. See also Psychological realism.
Psychological realism: A type of realism that tries to
reproduce the complex psychological motiva-
tions behind human behavior; writers in the
late nineteenth century and early twentieth cen-
tury were particularly influenced by Sigmund
Freud’s theories. See also Psychological novel.
Pun: A pun occurs when words with similar pro-
nunciations have entirely different meanings.
The result may be a surprise recognition of an
unusual or striking connection, or, more often,
a humorously accidental connection.
Quest: An archetypal theme identified by mytholo-
gist Joseph Campbell and found in many liter-
ary works. Campbell describes the heroic quest
in three fundamental stages: departure (leaving
the familiar world), initiation (encountering
adventures and obstacles), and return (bring-
ing home a boon to transform society).
Rabelaisian: The term is a reference to the six-
teenth century French satirist and humorist
François Rabelais. “Rabelaisian” is now used to
refer to any humorous or satirical writing that is
bawdy, coarse, or very down-to-earth.
Rationalism: A system of thought that seeks truth
through the exercise of reason rather than by
means of emotional response or revelation, or
traditional authority. In literature, rationalism
is associated with eighteenth century neoclas-
sicism. See also Neoclassicism.
Realism: A literary technique in which the primary
convention is to render an illusion of fidelity to
external reality. Realism is often identified as
the primary method of the novel form; the real-
ist movement in the late nineteenth century co-
incided with the full development of the novel
form.
2860
Renaissance: The term means “rebirth” and refers
to a period in European cultural history from
the fourteenth to the early seventeenth century,
although dates differ widely from country to
country. The Renaissance produced an unprec-
edented flowering of the arts of painting, sculp-
ture, architecture, and literature. The period is
often said to mark the transition from the Mid-
dle Ages to the modern world. The questing, in-
dividualistic spirit that characterized the age was
stimulated by an increase in classical learning by
scholars known as Humanists; by the Protestant
Reformation; by the development of printing,
which created a wide market for books; by new
theories of astronomy; and by the development
of other sciences that saw natural laws at work
where the Middle Ages had seen occult forces.
See also Humanism.
Restoration comedy/drama: The restoration of
the Stuart dynasty brought Charles II to the En-
glish throne in 1660. In literature, the Restora-
tion period extends from 1660 to 1700. Restora-
tion comedy is a comedy of manners, which
centers around complicated plots full of the am-
orous intrigues of the fashionable upper classes.
The humor is witty, but the view of human na-
ture is cynical. Restoration dramatists include
William Congreve, Sir George Etherege, and
William Wycherley. In serious, or heroic, drama,
the leading playwright was John Dryden. See also
Comedy of manners.
Roman à clef: A fiction wherein actual persons, of-
ten celebrities of some sort, are thinly disguised.
Lady Caroline Lamb’s Glenarvon (1816), for ex-
ample, contains a thinly veiled portrait of Lord
Byron, and the character Mark Rampion in Al-
dous Huxley’s Point Counter Point (1928) strongly
resembles D. H. Lawrence.
Romance: Originally, any work written in Old
French. In the Middle Ages, romances were
about knights and their adventures. In modern
times, the term has also been used to describe a
type of prose fiction in which, unlike the novel,
realism plays little part. Prose romances often
give expression to the quest for transcendent
truths.
Romanticism: A movement of the late eighteenth
century and the nineteenth century that ex-
alted individualism over collectivism, revolution
over conservatism, innovation over tradition,

imagination over reason, and spontaneity over
restraint. Romanticism regarded art as self-
expression; it strove to heal the cleavage be-
tween object and subject and expressed a long-
ing for the infinite in all things. It stressed the
innate goodness of human beings and the evils
of the institutions that would stultify human
creativity. The major English Romantic poets
are William Blake, Lord Byron, Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and
William Wordsworth.
Satire: A form of literature that employs the come-
dic devices of wit, irony, and exaggeration to ex-
pose, ridicule, and condemn human folly, vice,
and stupidity. Justifying satire, Alexander Pope
wrote that “nothing moves strongly but satire,
and those who are ashamed of nothing else are
so of being ridiculous.”
Scene: A division of action within an act; some plays
are divided only into scenes instead of acts.
Sometimes, scene division indicates a change of
setting or locale; sometimes, it simply indicates
the entrances and exits of characters.
Science fiction: Fiction in which real or imagined
scientific developments or certain givens (such as
physical laws, psychological principles, or social
conditions) form the basis of an imaginative pro-
jection, frequently into the future. Classic exam-
ples are the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne.
Sentimental novel: A form of fiction popular in the
eighteenth century in which emotionalism and
optimism are the primary characteristics. The
best-known examples are Samuel Richardson’s
Pamela (1740-1741) and Oliver Goldsmith’s The
Vicar of Wakefield (1766).
Shakespearean sonnet: So named because William
Shakespeare was the greatest of English sonne-
teers, whose ranks also included the earl of Sur-
rey and Thomas Wyatt. The Shakespearean son-
net consists of three quatrains and a concluding
couplet, rhyming abab cdcd efef gg. The begin-
ning of the third quatrain marks a turn in the ar-
gument.
Short story: A concise work of fiction, shorter than
a novella, that is usually more concerned with
mood, effect, or a single event than with plot or
extensive characterization.
Simile: A type of metaphor in which two things
are compared. It can usually be recognized by
Glossary of Literary Terms
the use of the words “like,” “as,” “appears,” or
“seems.”
Skaz: A term used in Russian criticism to describe a
narrative technique that presents an oral narra-
tive of a lowbrow speaker.
Soliloquy: An extended speech delivered by a char-
acter alone on stage, unheard by other charac-
ters. Soliloquy is a form of monologue, and it
typically reveals the intimate thoughts and emo-
tions of the speaker.
Song: A lyric poem, usually short, simple, and with
rhymed stanzas, set to music.
Sonnet: A traditional poetic form that is almost al-
ways composed of fourteen lines of rhymed iam-
bic pentameter; a turning point usually divides
the poem into two parts, with the first part (oc-
tave) presenting a situation and the second part
(sestet) reflecting on it. The main sonnet forms
are the Petrarchan sonnet and the English (some-
times called Shakespearean) sonnet.
Stanza: When lines of poetry are meant to be taken as
a unit, and the unit recurs throughout the poem,
that unit is called a stanza; a four-line unit, a qua-
train, is one common stanza. Others include
couplet, ottava rima, and the Spenserian stanza.
Story line: The story line of a work of fiction differs
from the plot. Story is merely the events that
happen; plot is how those events are arranged
by the author to suggest a cause-and-effect rela-
tionship. See also Plot.
Stream of consciousness: A narrative technique
used in modern fiction by which an author tries
to embody the total range of consciousness of a
character, without any authorial comment or ex-
planation. Sensations, thoughts, memories, and
associations pour forth in an uninterrupted,
prerational, and prelogical flow. For examples,
see James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922), Virginia Woolf’s
To the Lighthouse (1927), and William Faulkner’s
The Sound and the Fury (1929).
Sturm und Drang: A dramatic and literary move-
ment in Germany during the late eighteenth
century. Translated as “Storm and Stress,” the
movement was a reaction against classicism and
a forerunner of Romanticism, characterized by
extravagantly emotional language and sensa-
tional subject matter.
Surrealism: A revolutionary approach to artistic
and literary creation, Surrealism argued for
complete artistic freedom: The artist should re-
2861
Glossary of Literary Terms
linquish all conscious control, responding to
the irrational urges of the unconscious mind;
hence the bizarre, dreamlike, and nightmarish
quality of Surrealistic writing. In the 1920’s and
1930’s, Surrealism flourished in France, Spain,
and Latin America. After World War II, it influ-
enced such American writers as Frank O’Hara,
John Ashbery, and Nathanael West.
Symbol: A literary symbol is an image that stands
for something else; it may evoke a cluster of
meanings rather than a single specific meaning.
Symbolism: A literary movement encompassing
the work of a group of French writers in the
latter half of the nineteenth century, a group
that included Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mal-
larmé, and Paul Verlaine. According to Symbol-
ism, there is a mystical correspondence between
the natural and spiritual worlds.
Theater of Cruelty: A term, coined by French play-
wright Antonin Artaud, which signifies a vi-
sion in which theater becomes an arena for
shock therapy. The characters undergo such
intense physical and psychic extremities that
the audience cannot ignore the cathartic ef-
fect in which its preconceptions, fears, and hos-
tilities are brought to the surface and, ideally,
purged.
Theater of the Absurd: Refers to a group of plays
that share a basic belief that life is illogical, irra-
tional, formless, and contradictory, and that hu-
manity is without meaning or purpose. Practi-
tioners, who include Eugène lonesco, Samuel
Beckett, Jean Genet, Harold Pinter, Edward
Albee, and Arthur Kopit, abandoned traditional
theatrical forms and coherent dialogue.
Théâtre d’avant-garde: A movement in late nine-
teenth century drama in France that challenged
the conventions of realistic drama by using Sym-
bolist poetry and nonobjective scenery.
Third person: Third-person narration occurs
when the narrator has not been part of the event
or affected it and is not probing his or her own
relationship to it but is only describing what
happened. The narrator does not allow the in-
trusion of the word “I.” Third-person narration
establishes a distance between reader and sub-
ject, gives credibility to a large expanse of narra-
tion that would be impossible for one person to
experience, and allows the narrative to include
2862
a number of characters who can comment on
one another as well as be the subjects of com-
mentary by the participating narrator.
Tragedy: A form of drama that is serious in action
and intent and that involves disastrous events
and death; classical Greek drama observed spe-
cific guidelines for tragedy, but the term is now
sometimes applied to a range of dramatic or fic-
tional situations.
Travel literature: Writing that emphasizes the au-
thor’s subjective response to places visited, espe-
cially faraway, exotic, and culturally different lo-
cales.
Trilogy: A novel or play written in three parts, each
of which is a self-contained work, such as Wil-
liam Shakespeare’s Henry VI (Part I, pr. 1592;
Part II, pr. c. 1590-1591, pb. 1594; Part III,
pr. c. 1590-1591, pb. 1594). Modern examples
include C. S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy (1938-
1945) and William Golding’s Sea Trilogy (1980-
1989).
Trope: Literally “turn” or “conversion,” a figure of
speech in which a word or phrase is used in a
way that deviates from the normal or literal
sense.
Verismo: Refers to a type of Italian literature that
deals with the lower classes and presents them
realistically using language that they would use.
Called verismo because it is true to life and, from
the writer’s point of view, impersonal.
Verse: Verse is a generic name for poetry. Verse also
refers in a narrower sense to poetry that is hu-
morous or merely superficial, as in “greeting-
card verse.” Finally, English critics sometimes
use “verse” to mean “stanza,” or, more often, to
mean “line.”
Verse drama: Verse drama was the prevailing form
for Western drama throughout most of its his-
tory, comprising all the drama of classical
Greece and continuing to dominate the stage
through the Renaissance, when it was best ex-
emplified by the blank verse of Elizabethan
drama. In the seventeenth century, however,
prose comedies became popular, and in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries verse drama
became the exception rather than the rule.
Victorian novel: Although the Victorian period ex-
tended from 1837 to 1901, the term “Victorian
novel” does not include works from the later

decades of Queen Victoria’s reign. The term
loosely refers to the sprawling works of novel-
ists such as Charles Dickens and William Make-
peace Thackeray, which are characterized by a
broad social canvas.
Villanelle: A French verse form assimilated by En-
glish prosody. It is usually composed of nineteen
lines divided into five tercets and a quatrain,
rhyming aba, bba, aba, aba, abaa. The third line is
repeated in the ninth and fifteenth lines. Dylan
Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good
Night” is a modern example of a successful
villanelle.
Well-made play: From the French term pièce bien
faite, a type of play constructed according to a
“formula” that originated in nineteenth century
France. The plot often revolves around a secret
Glossary of Literary Terms
known only to some of the characters, which is
revealed at the climax and leads to catastrophe
for the villain and vindication or triumph for the
hero. The well-made play influenced later dra-
matists such as Henrik Ibsen and George Ber-
nard Shaw.
Weltanschauung: A German term translated as “world-
view,” by which is meant a comprehensive set of
beliefs or assumptions by means of which one in-
terprets what goes on in the world.
Zeitgeist: A German term meaning the spirit of
the times, the moral or intellectual atmosphere
of any age or period. The zeitgeist of the Roman-
tic Age, for example, might be described as rev-
olutionary, restless, individualistic, and inno-
vative.
